The Furious Lyrics - Hide - The Bloody Beetroots

A black man 

In the white house 

Over 1 million jailed 

By corporate America 

Land of the free 

A black man 

In the white house 

Over 2 million labeled felon 

Incarcerated by the crippling shackles 

Of the new slavery 

The new Jim Crow 

But tell me it's not happening 

Tell me it's not so 

Tell me it's not happening 

Oh Jesus no 

A people chained 

Their dignity maimed 

By the collateral consequence of white indifference 

But what matters collateral 

What collateral settles the score? 

Collateral is the very essence of our war 

A war on drugs 

A war on terror 

For or against 

Against or for 

Oh, then 

I am resolutely against 

For this is the white wash 

The hemlock filled chalice 

Of consummate malice 

White, the iniquitous story 

White, the color of old glory 

White, the color of democracy 

White, the color of devast 

The black man, in the white house 

But what strange fruits 

What blood on the roots 

But here, a people 

Once torn from their Eden 

Now be stripped of their flesh 

Becoming invisible 

Disappeared 

Through the cowards expedience 

Of color-blindness 

And there 

But for the grace of god 

Whose face is painted white 

Go I 

Go you 

Go we 

The devilry lies in race 

The insidious deceit 

Of culture 

god bless America
